Thumbs up TOPIC: "I'm Gonna Quit!" Why Haven't You? Explain.

Hi Im Sharon and Im an alcoholic.

By the grace of my HP and people
l8ike u here in SR I havent found
it necesary to pick up a drink of
alcohol since 8-11-90.

For that and u I am truely grateful.

How may times have you told
urself this line?

"I'm gonna quit!"

If so why haven't you?

Quit what, u ask?

There are lots of things we promise
ourselves and we try and try but
something happens to stand in the
way to stop us.

We try to quit drinking, drugging,
eating, lieing, being unfaith-
ful, being cruel, stealing and
so on. Right?

If you want to quit something
why don't you? What are you
afraid of?

For me I tried to quit drinking
and couldnt on my own because
I was powerless. I was weak.
Afraid of my vunerability.

I eventually quit drinking with
help from the program of Alcoholics
Anonymous and for that I am
truely grateful and living life happy
joyous and free.

I have quit many other things
in my life....those pesky character
defects that kept poping up to
haunt me.

As long as I apply the principles
of my recovery program to my
life and everyday affairs then quiting
most things is pretty easy.

How about you?
